Hmm, Gandalf is a tough call. Outwardly, especially in the movies he doesn't appear to be demigod status. On the other hand, I remember reading something in the Similarion that equated Wizards to a much higher power than mere magical humans. The wiki says wizards are Maiar, the same order as Valar (but slightly lesser in power), which were something like angels that chose to come to middle-earth and were sometimes worshiped as gods. Sounds really close to demigods to me. But I'll wait to hear from someone who knows more about Lord of the Rings to comment. I know we have a few big fans on the board.
